In the previous lesson, you logged in as the test manager
and rejected the test plan because it did not meet its quality objectives.
In this lesson, you log in as the test lead and create a new test
case to cover the requirement. A test case describes a scenario of
something that you are going to test.
To begin the coverage process:
- Log in as the test lead (Userid: carmen, Password: carmen)
when prompted with the login dialog box. Carmen's dashboard opens.
Notice that the work item that you created in the previous
lesson is now listed in the test lead's My Tasks viewlet:
- To open the work item, from the My Tasks viewlet,
click Ensure that all requirements are covered by test
cases. Click the Overview tab to
display the work item details:

The work
item informs Carmen to cover all requirements with test cases.
- Return to the Carmen's dashboard by clicking Back
to Home at the upper, left corner of the page.
- To open the test plan, click Classics Java Test
Plan in the Artifact column of the My Tasks viewlet.
- To create a test case to cover the new requirement:
- Click the Test Cases section.
- Click the Add New Test Case icon
(
). Important: You can use the installed test case sample to decrease
the time it takes you to complete this lesson. Click the
Add
Existing Test Cases icon (

). In the
View
Builder window, deselect
My test cases only,
and click
Run. From the list of test plans,
select
New Customer Order Test Case (Sample),
and click
OK. Skip to step h.
- In the Name field, type New
Customer Order Test Case.
- In the Description field, type Test
the ordering functionality of the Classics Java application.
- Type 20 as the weight.
- Choose the category (Web UI),
function (Execution), and theme (Functionality)
from the lists.
Note: You can use the category, function,
and theme attributes to organize your test cases into various groupings
that can later be sorted. Your team can define these attributes any
way that makes sense. You can use the weight as a means of tracking
the relative difficulty or importance of the test case. A test case
that requires twice as much time to execute might have double the
weight as another test case, which will factor into reports that measure
your progress.
- Click OK.
- Save the test plan.
You now have a test case that addresses the new requirement:
- The next step is to associate the new test case with the
new requirement:
- Click New Customer Order Test Case to
open the test case.
- Click the Requirements section.
- Click the Add Requirement(s) icon
(
), select the requirement, New
Customer Order Requirement, and click OK.
- Save the test plan.
The test case, New Customer Order Test Case,
is now associated with the requirement, New Customer
Order Requirement.
- Now assign the test-script creation task to the tester:
- Click the Test Scripts section.
- In the upper, right corner of the Test Scripts section,
click Create.
- In the Summary field, replace
the default text with Test case is ready for manual test
script.
- In the Owned By field, select Tony,
Tester.
- Click the Calendar icon (
) next to the Due field,
and select a future date.
- Click OK.
- Click Save to save the changes to
the test case.
In the next lesson, you continue as the test lead and plan
the test environment.
